Hello thermals!

Between the look of confusion on my husband's face and the pure excitement on mine as I started digging out my thermals last night in preparation for today's commute, it was entertaining night at our house!  With the cooler weather FINALLY upon us, I couldn't wait to dig out my fall/winter clothes, charge my bike light and knock off the dust on my toe covers.  When the alarm went off this morning, I jumped out of bed, so excited to head out into the darkness!  Nothing is more relaxing or freeing than biking in the pitch dark.  Just you...your bike & light....and 843 bunnies darting in front of you (just to make sure you're on your toes!).  The chilly temps quickly subsided as the sun rose, which was just an amazing sight!  So great, that I stopped twice....once to get a picture and once to just embrace my surroundings and the new day ahead. As someone once said, there's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing choices!

Sometimes a detour is a blessing

I found myself taking off on my mountain bike headed through Chatfield to Waterton Canyon, but when I got to Waterton Canyon it was closed. Immediately I was disappointed. Then I took a little detour through Chatfields single track and it was amazing! Lots of leaves blowing in my face, beautiful fall colors, and it got me to thinking life is often a detour. Often we are not planning on certain things that happen to us, but even if at the time we don't realize it, it is often a blessing.  I am so grateful for the journey we get to take in this wonderful thing called life. I am also so thankful for the people who are placed in our lives that make this journey more fun!
